MicroStrategy (MSTR)

As of December 31, 2008, we had a total of 1,915 employees, of whom 1,109 were based
in the United States and 806 were based internationally. Of the total of 1,915 employees, 685 were engaged in sales and marketing, 374 in research and development, 501 in technical support, consulting and education services, and 355 in finance,
administration and corporate operations. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

We believe that effective recruiting, education and nurturing of human resources are critical to our success and have traditionally made investments in
these areas in order to differentiate ourselves from our competition, increase employee loyalty and create a culture conducive to creativity, cooperation and continuous improvement.

All newly hired technical and sales professionals complete a professional orientation course that ranges from one day to four weeks long. The curriculum
consists of lectures, problem sets and independent and group projects, covering data on our products, competitors and customers. Certain lectures also deal with general business practices and teamwork. Throughout this training, students typically
must pass a number of oral and written examinations in order to begin their assignments. Course content is created by experienced members of our professional staff, who generally have an annual obligation to update course content based upon the best
practices they have most recently observed in the field. This expert content is then used to upgrade and revitalize our education, consulting, support, technology and marketing operations.
